FAQ’s

What is a Real Estate Purchase Agreement?

A real estate purchase agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities that both buyer and seller agree to in a real estate transaction. It is a legally binding agreement between the two parties. The purchase agreement will describe basics like the property address and description, state the price, terms of the deal, and outline any contingencies regarding the sale. A well-written purchase agreement protects both buyer and seller, so it’s an important document.

How much does a purchase agreement cost?

A buyer entering into a purchase agreement will pay a deposit or earnest money to confirm their commitment to entering the contract. Buyers can expect to pay at least $1,000, but amounts can vary. If a buyer is pre-approved for financing, they may include their approval letter with the purchase agreement when making an offer. If the buyer makes an offer contingent on receiving funding but doesn’t secure it, they can back out and recover their earnest money.

How much should a real estate attorney cost?

The answer will depend on the complexity of your situation, the experience level of your attorney, and the length of time your issue takes to resolve. You can expect to pay between $2,500 to $3,000 for a simple buy and sell transaction. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $350 or more. Your attorney may offer a fixed price package for things like document preparation or other specific tasks.
